When you weigh it up, he's basically sacrificing one season of NBL for a chance to test the waters in the US at a salary close to $10k AUD per month with accommodation and living costs covered. Not a bad deal on it's own, but well worth the shot to potentially earn an NBA deal which would obviously blow away what he'd earn back here.

Oh great, another Creek thread.Cue all the Adelaide fans to tell us how much they hate their team for what they did.

Obviously, if you have better options as Creek did, then playing for Beer-Money in the peanut-league is a dumb move. Except for that small minority with a genuine chance at an NBA contract (of which he is not one.)

Definitely worth a shot at the big time for Mitch. He has a half chance at a 10 day call up next month. If a team has some injuries and needs someone who will be solid and play their role he'll get a look in. Hope he's given a chance.
